IMPROVEMENT IN INKSTAN DS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 211,307, dated January 14, 1879 application filed April 5, 1878.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. BEDDING, of the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Mode of Mounting and Hanging or Oscillating Inkstands; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to the improved mode of hanging or mounting oscillating inkstands, and not to the inkstands themselves.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of the ordinary oscillating inkstand having my improvements attached to the same, which consists in making the journals d d d of the same material, and forming an integral part of the body of the glass inkstand, to operate in the journalboxes G and F; also, the spring-cap e, to cover the journals d d and keep them in position while the bottles A A are being operated.

Fig. 2 represents one end of an ink-bottle, showing in section the frame in which the bearin g F is, the standard a, and screw-plug s. The said pressureplug s has a recess cut in the bearing-face, so that a circular flange or pressure-edge, o, is forced against the vertical circular face of the journal 6 near the outer periphery thereof.

The novelty of my invention consists in constructing the glass journals d dd so that they constitute and form apart of the ink-bottles A A, said journals being held in position by the clasp e and the screw-plu g 3.

What I claim is As a new article of man ufacture, an in kstand, A A, having journals d d d and spring-cap 6, with the compensating-plug s, all constructed, arranged, and operating in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as I my own invention I afiixmy signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM F. BEDDING.
